  2. Autumn Belle,

    Lovely photos! Your mystery flower is called Red Salvia or Scarlet Sage, Salvia splendens. It's very attractive to hummingbirds.

  3. Autumn Belle, "Flowers" and "National Unity" -- I love this connection. Yes, your mystery plant is a salvia. I haven't visited lately (I've been too busy gardening) so I just spent a happy time catching up on your gardening news. Thanks for the tour. Pam x

  8. I just wondered..concerning the blue in that "1 MALAYSIA LOGO".
    Seemed like now they started spraying on the white mums rather than getting a true blue flowers.
    I still remember one time ago, they used the same thing on white roses.(spray blue on them)
    Guess the artificial colouring is far from over.

  10. RoseBelle, the huge no.1 signs at the entrance and the other 2 little ones at the pergola are made entirely of flowers.

    James, you just got me thinking. I'm so embarassed to say I haven't thought about this at all because I was in a 'trance' state being captivated by real flowers everywhere I walked. I heard some visitors remarked and asked each other if the flowers were real. When they touched it and found that it was indeed real flowers, they were so impressed.

    If I get the chance to go again, I will definitely check this out. You should be in the private investigation agency because you are really very observant!

    Kitchen Flavours, if you can't make it this year, do put it in your diary. You can stay in Putrajaya and have some siteseeing e.g. visit PM residence, the Botanical Garden, just to name a few. I think Floria 2011 will be around the same time.

  11. The red flowers are called Salvia. Your flowers are very beautiful, and the same flowers are blooming here at this time too. I have not seen that old fashioned Petunia of late in garden shows. That one has a nice fragrance unlike the hibrid varieries which are popular these days.Have a floral weekend!
